Are the 49ers finally headed in the right direction?

Ive been reading articles on the main page of the webzone and it seems that we just might have a chance at turning things around.
Not just because of Troy Smith, but because the whole team seems to have a revived feeling about the season.

Troy Smith did well and we expect more of that.

Frank is contributing day in and day out.

Crabtree is stepping it up big time.

Our o-line still needs some work, but with Troys mobility, we might not have to worry too much.

Our CB's need some work as well, but our overall defense, when they play well, we win games because after all...

"Defense Wins Games".

Not sure that "Crabtree is stepping it up big time." He played better last season IMO. New coach, new QB, and we'll be rollin' with.......er.......we'll be groovin' with Gruden... and kicking the NFC West's ass (though I think the Rams will be a thorn in our side for 10+ years now that they have a real qb).

I do think our defense has the core to be special; next year, IF we can keep manny and get a shutdown corner. This year it has the potential to be better than what the first half has shown us with improved physical play from our corners, because they're not shutdown cover guys.

So headed in the right direction (on defense) will be evident with our coach scheming our strengths to help our corners-and that is bringing the house on blitzes. First!

And second, locking up the player(s) who make our defense above average. Manny, a top cover corner in the draft, Laboy, and possibly T. Gibson becoming a steal and replace Haralson at Lb.

Clements should be kept. This offseason, I was Goldson's main backer, but he wont be missed even if we replace him with ONLY R. Smith. I didn't think think his play would drop off like he is having.

RJF is awesome and I think he ll get dominant on nickel downs too with Smith and Mcdonald along side him.
